1. I have some directories that were made on sd card from my X (like Media/Audio/Ringtones, Audio/Alarms) that I don't see (don't even see the Media/Audio/ directory) when I look on Astro. Why can't I see them?

2. The docked icons that are at the bottom of the screen...Can you make it show more than the 4 that are there (like you can in LPP)?

1. I have always had to make those files on my sdcard, I don't have the Bionic so I can't say for sure but just add those files and copy all your ringtones and other media to your new card.

2. I believe you need to use a third party launcher to be able to add more apps to a dock.

Those directories are already on my sd card. It was the card that was in my Droid X. I pulled it out, put it in the Bionic, and those directories are not there when I look using Astro. What's funny is that all of my pictures are there (I can see them in the gallery) and although I don't see my ringtone directory in Astro, my ringtones are show up on the phone. Also, these unseen directories are visible in the native installed File Manager app, but not in Astro. The real problem is that I have a audio book app that also doesn't see the directories...just like Astro.

If you mount your card to a computer and make a new path that might fix the audio book app. Your right that is very strange I have no idea why its like that. Can you see those files and path from a computer?

Yes, all the directories show up when plugged into a PC. Right now I'm copying the card contents to my hard drive, then I'll format the card and copy back...big fun.

I've noticed that when you plug the Bionic into your pc, two windows open up, one for the internal hard drive and one for the sd card. It seems that the phone (and most apps installed on it) are defaulting to looking at the internal hard drive for data. I'm hoping there is a way to change this. The internal storage only shows up as 8 gig and I want to use the 16 on my card.
